Turtle Creek Real Estate

Frank Lloyd Wright once referred to Turtle Creek as one of the most beautiful boulevards in the country. The area, just north of Uptown and minutes from Love Field, was named for the small tributary creek of the Trinity River. It’s believed Texas Rangers camped here when they were fleeing an attack in 1837, and referred to the water as the "creek with all the turtles.”
Originally, grand old homes lined the banks of the creek until 1957, when noted architect Howard Meyer designed the first high-rise apartment building at 3525 Turtle Creek Blvd, and started a trend. Modern apartment living came to town as did several notable names (Greer Garson, Jimmy Dean and others).
